Modern mesh generators often provide mixed generation functionalities (e.g. gmsh which can generate pyramids and prisms).<br>As a matter of fact, cells are never numbered independently of vertices in hybrid meshes because different generators are used (structured and unstructured ones).<br>

However, I am not quite sure that DMGetWorkArray and DMRestoreWorkArray should be used like this.<br>I guess that DMRestoreWorkArray behaves like free function in ansi c but I am not sure.<br>Do you think that calling DMGetWorkArray and DMRestoreWorkArray inside a loop is a good thing from the point of view of computational time and memory management?<br>
<br>Note: the best way to do this may be to first sort cells by numCorners to avoid many calls to DMGetWorkArray and DMRestoreWorkArray. This is actually what I have in my own code but I would like to maintain Petsc's philosophy.<br>
